Pros and cons of StoryToys Hansel and Gretel app for iPhone and iPad

StoryToys Hansel and Gretel app good for

Too good and so cute. Lot of fun for those who want to play. Nice voice, magnificent colors, funny ideas.

I totally recommend this book. Its a fun interactive 3D book. Lots of fun for kids.

I got a few of the story toys books on sale, but the are worth the full price too. My boys (5 and 9) and all their friends LOVE this and the full series of books by this developer. Logged in today to buy the newest. Whether listening to the story or reading by themselves, or practicing their French. I cant think of a single thing to ask of story toys to improve. Just keep them coming!

I read these books to my kids almost every night. They love them there is no in app purchases or ads that you have to worry about.

Some bad moments

This story book is amazing. It is sooo smooth and engaging. My nephew loves it already.

This game is so cool it has graphics like a book it opens and closes it has activity along the way of the book I like the twist of the story I also like the part when you to have scratch his head for ideas I love this app it is A AMAZINGGAME! APP

My 5 and 3 year old grandchildren absolutely love this book. Great job.

The kids love playing with this pop-up book and fight over who gets to do each pop-up activity. I had some problems with the sound at first which ended up being an ipad issue and not an app issue. Regardless, the support for the app was prompt and helped me solve my problem. Definitely an app with the price for your kids!

Great music, intuitive activities, pop ups great , story line right on, live the reality of it. Kids sometimes even fight for the "other mom" to read it (ie when the book narrates to them!!) ingenious!

This is a fun and great app for kids. It is not as good as the rapunzel one but a whole lot better than the rumplestiltskin one! My three year old loves it. It has some fun interactive games.
